Another Two Bite the Dust
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Olof Haglund was eliminated by a player without his id-number out. We're not entirely sure what happened but people spoke of an action flop afterwards. The board was 
and Haglund had pocket queens, presumably with the 
. His opponent had 
and busted the EPT London 2013 third place finisher.
One table down we saw Jorma Nuutinen push his last 36,500 to the middle from middle position. Everyone but Ibrahim Ghassan in the big blind folded. The Lebanese player made the call with 
and survived the flip against Nuutinen's 
. The board ran out 
and that was the end of it for the Fin.

Katch a Break
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Florian Montes had fired 12,000 on an 
flop with Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov check-calling. On the 
turn, Katchalov checked again and Montes bet 14,000 this time before the Ukrainian player check-raised to 40,000.
Montes thought for several minutes before eventually giving up his hand. Katchalov remains among the chip leaders.

De Benedittis Doubles Big
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
On a 
flop three players were involved. In front of Zimnan Ziyard was 11,000 and Carlo De Benedittis had 41,000 in chips over the line, all in for him. Dimitri Holdeew had made the call and action was on Ziyard. The EPT Loutraki winner eventually folded, making it a showdown between Holdeew and De Benedittis.
De Benedittis needed a club with his as Holdeew showed 
. Well, a club would make it quick and easy as would an ace. De Benedittis made his hand the slightly more difficult way though: on the turn, 
on the river. Straight for De Benedittis who doubled.

Schleich Doubles Up - Busts
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
German PokerStars player Martin Schleich moved all in for his last 57,000 and found a caller in Marko Laine. Schleich tabled and was against the baby pair 
of Lane. The cards ran out 
and Schleich doubled up.
On the next hand Anthony Lerust opened for 8,500 and with his newly won chips Schleich raised him to 22,000. Back to Lerust who asked for a count and moved all in. Schleich snapped him off with 
and Lerust tabled . “Come on.” Said Schleich. The board ran out 
. “Dammit.” Was the verdict from Schleich who exited the tournament.
French PokerStars player Sebastien Lapeyre, at the same table, piped up, “That’s the twenty fourth time he’s beat a big pair with ace rag.” Which got a big laugh from Lerust as he stacked the chips, but no denial.

Gulyy Eliminated
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Serial EPT casher Yury Gulyy, who finished 15th here last year for €27,000, won't be adding a French flag to his Hendon Mob page here in this tournament.
Jeffrey Hakim opened for 8,500 from the button and Tony Blanchandin flatted from the small blind. Gulyy shoved from the big blind. We couldn't see how much it was exactly as Hakim quickly folded and Blanchandin insta called.
Despite the quick action it was a coinflip nonetheless. 
for Gulyy, for Blanchandin. The flop was good for the Frenchman and so were the on the turn and on the river.
As Gulyy left the table, Hakim joked he had pocket sevens. Just the dealer thought he was serious...
